Hello, all! Jacob here, and I have some important news about our online community.As of Sunday July 17, we will be shutting down TheatreFace.This is not just no longer supporting the website, but actually shutting it down, and deleting all the content on its servers. While this has been a great place for us to host lively conversations about theatre making, create community and help everyone out through the years, it’s time for us to move on. While we figure out the best way to do that, we need…See More
Jacob Coakley replied to Jacob Coakley's discussion Dangerous Theatre"Thanks for writing, Thomas!
I agree, there's lots more talk for specifics in the comments on the piece -- and I could give examples of my own for that matter, too. In fact there were two whole paragraphs I deleted that were just that --…"

While the article is talking about "Bro Theatre" as if it were a thing (and maybe it is . . . but I have never heard of it - is she trying to coin the phrase or did I just miss the first two chapters of this phenomenon? or…"

USITT 2016 - Fundamentals: Wagons, Wheels and Winches
A little late to the session, so I'll fill in people's names a little later. For now though, we're jumping right in with types of casters..
Types of casters:
Rigid and Swivel
Rigid - Frame with wheel, goes in one direction.
Swivel - mounting plate, and then another plate with bearings to change directions. Works very well -- except you can't contain swivel caster into one direction and change direction. …

Nancy O'Banion said… - HI. I teach a High School Theatre 3/4 class. We are working on audition materials for college auditions. I'm not able to get the students out of class for the scheduled time of the chat. Is there a place we could look at the chat after it has happened?

Steve Shelley said… - hi jacob; just a quick note. a) i was going to post this in general but couldn't figure out where general was. is there a public forum out there that an old luddite like me can't find it? and b) my post concerns the fact that i was about to submit my taxes today when i discovered, much to my surprise, that i had TWO 1099's from two different producers that lumped in additional monies to the fees. on one, for example, i got paid a fee of $1000. but the 1099 said $1,203.75. that's because they added my fee and the money they reimbursed me for my petty cash [$203.75] together. which is WRONG.
the second 1099 reflected not only the fee, but added in the per diem as well. which i think is also wrong, but at this point that's only my opnion. i have to get back to my accountant.
bottom line, this is the time of year for the taxes to be addressed. and everyone should take the time to carefully examine their 1099's and W-2's to make sure the information is right. and if it isn't; NOW is the time to ask for explanations or corrections. NOT the day before you submit your taxes.
all the best,
shelley

Mr. Scott said… - Hello Jacob.
I must say this is a great site. Not only for solving one of my biggest problems - I am shy by nature and find myself running a great little theater business...but I don't like marketing (and hence I am not terribly good at it.) Connecting with people that would be interested in and benefit from Newmark Scenic is one of my most difficult tasks.
But also the layout and configuration kicks ass. If the software running this is pre-packaged it rocks. Rarely have I seen this level of custom control of a blog type site. Recently I went to login, but had no bookmarks. Typing in the URL led me to a hosting service park/marketing page, and I got really concerned that theatre face went down. Then I realized I had typed theaterface.com!
Keep up the good work, it is appreciated.

Thanks for making the comment wall available. If anyone has questions about theater mic techniques or microphones, especially stage-floor microphones, I'd be happy to attempt a reply.
